when one day Mr. Kolze asked him why h
didn t get the contract for the stone road
adding that he thought he could get it foI
him The witness said he then made an esti-
mate of Sl4 a carload for gravel and gave
it to Mr.. Kolze who shortly after came Il
him and said he could get the contract fol

The strange developments in the CHI
cago Doodle cases reached climax when
W. J. McGarisle, one of the very worst
in the lot, was permitted to escape Nc
Garigle was sort of clearing house for
The gang. He received money from con-
tractors and others having dealings with
Cook county. and then divided it among
the coparceners He WAS better educated,
more respected more intelligent, a man
of more refiued sensib lities than the
others, and is on that account entitled 10
a heavier condemnation, because he real
lied better than those coarse, licentious
men the enoTmity of his crime By his
escape Sheriff Mstson is placed in a
highly culpable light. Had he been an
ordinary thief instead of high toned,
well dressed robber, no privileges would
have been extended to him and he would
not have avoided punishment BY a timely
escape.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE DECISIONS.

Commercial Travellers Not a Privileged
CIass-Other Conclusions.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 26-Several de-
cisions were announced by the interstate
commerce commission Monday. In the case
of the Burton stock car company against the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy and a num-
Der of other railroad companies in the west
and northwest Commissioner Walker pre-
pared long report. in which all the other
members of the commission concur Tie
complaint in this case was that the railroad
companies refused to pay the Burton com
pany the usual mileage paid by all railroad
companies for the use of cars of other COM
panieS and owners of cars, aud also demand
for the transportation of live stock in the
Burton cars u higher rate than for carrying
live stock i'll ordinary cars. The commission
retains the case for future consideration
when it shall be more fully presented, and
decides but one point: that there is no ground
upon which the payment to the Burton COM
pany of q of cent mileage may be ordered
In the case involving the issue of l, 000-mile
tickets at reduced rates to commercial trav-
eIers, the decision is that this class of persons
is not privileged to ride any cheaper than
anybody else, and if the company sells tick
cts TO them at reduced rates it must also give
the balance of the public the same terms.
Hence the refusal to sell complainant a ! 900
mile ticket at $50, the price that the company
was selling such tickets to commercial trav-
elers. and in neglecting to publish rates al
which defendant was selling mileage tickets,
were alike in conflict with the interstate
law In the case of the complaint of the As

DR.. MCGLYNN's attempt TO pose as a
martyr is not meeting with much success.
He could easily have avoided expulsion
from the Catholic church if he wished to,
but apparently he didn't wish to. On the
contrary. BY every act and word he
seemed to court accommodation. Peo>
pie who get what they want are not apt
to receive much commiseration. Every
organization is compelled to provide rules
for its own government. Ii person
doesn't like those rules, let him remain
outside. There is no compulsion about
joining any society, ecclesiastical, poli-
tical, or whatever it's aims may be.
